Soundtrack
Several people come here
to test their destiny
but only a few fortunate ones
manage to make a mark.
Raunak was destiny’s
cursed child
but he still left
a lasting impression.
‘Don’t you ignore the light’
‘or you will regret.’
‘You are leaving me today’
‘but you will come back
to me someday.’
‘You will come back someday.’
Listen! Keep some change
for the bus ride.
Sir, why fool the world?
You can see, right?
No dear, I was born blind.
I can’t see and yet I can.
I always knew
you’d show up someday.
I’ve known Raunak
since he was a kid.
His father was like
an elder brother to me.
He was also quite
a talented musician.
He spent a lot of time
in Mumbai, struggling but…
Mihika, I’ve come to play
catch with you.
Raunak, some water?
Sure, but..
– I’ll go to the washroom.
Not neat..
A little… Please.
Actually, uncle
I’ve walked so far, I definitely
need a Johnny Walker.
Get the ice.
– Not for me.
It spoils the taste of whiskey.
It’s been 20 years,
I never had drinks before lunch.
Only a Kaul could come
and change my ways again.
Here..
– It’s never too late, uncle.
Cheers!
– Cheers!
Your mom knows
you are here, right?
Sorry?
One more.
Enough!
– Last.
So, how about assisting me?
Sure thing.
Just one question.
Should I call you uncle or boss?
Here we are then!
Welcome to my world!
Tango Charlie.
Charlie is the owner’s name.
And Tango?
His split personality!
You’ll meet both of them
very soon. Come on.
Let’s go.
‘To conquer!’
‘To conquer!’
‘To conquer!’
‘To conquer!’
‘To conquer!’
‘To conquer!’
‘To conquer!’
I was a DJ at Tango Charlie
back then.
In a way,
Raunak’s journey begins there.
‘The wind renders
open the blank pages.’
‘Sweet-bitter, ripe-sour
moments fly by.’
Actually, we bonded over music.
We’d be going on about music
for hours, over drinks.
He’d drink a lot.
‘The wind unwinds
the blank pages.’
‘Sweet-bitter, ripe-sour
moments fly by.’
We used to commute together
to and from the club.
Soon as he got home,
he’d plug into his headphones
and be making music
on his old computer.
‘I am going to conquer time.’
‘I am going to conquer time.’
I didn’t think that we’d have a
third wheel with us in the band.
But he was cool.
He was that small town guy but..
‘To defeat..’
he adapted, blended in.
We first met Raunak..
I think, at the club, right?
Actually, he dubbed us
‘Tango Charlie’s Angels’. – Yes.
‘The eyes seek the advent of
dawn, I’m going..’
‘I wish to face challenges.’
I liked Raunak.
In fact, everyone liked him.
He was just this really fun,
ballsy guy.
‘The eyes seek the advent of
dawn, I’m going..’
‘I wish to face challenges.’
‘Events undermine my courage’
‘but my desires have
grown wings.’
‘Like a unique comforting,
whiff of air..’
‘Like a unique comforting,
whiff of air..’
Shoo!
– ‘I am going to conquer time.’
‘To conquer time!’
‘To conquer time!’
Hey hero! What are you
doing up there?
Come down. Let’s have
some tea. Come on!
Your dad also used to like
drinking in the morning.
He’d say, when you rise
with a drink
you will succeed in life.
I don’t know about his life,
but he surely is up there.
You better come down.
Come down.
Uncle, join me up here.
– Raunak, I said come down!
Okay.
Careful!
Don’t compare me to my father,
uncle.
Come on.
I’m Raunak Kaul,
he was Parth Kaul.
You’re still peeved at him,
aren’t you?
He loved his music
more than he loved mom.
Fair enough!
And who am I to complain?
I proved to her that
I’m his son.
I left mom.
You not only behave
but also talk like your father.
And you talk like an old man.
Yes, I am old.
All I have are memories.
But I have no dreams.
Dreams are for youngsters.
Spot on, uncle.
I do have a dream!
Raunak! Watch out!
– The dream..
Raunak! Raunak! Raunak!
I think, I should go to sleep.
Why?
Already realized your dream?
My dreams will be fulfilled,
take it in writing.
And even your booze buddy,
Parth Kaul
will look down from up
there and say
‘I should get down.’
Huh?
– Get me off this ledge, uncle.
Come down. I have been telling
you that since long.
Uncle, if we rise and drink,
we get high.
What if we get high and drink?
You will obviously be dead,
dear. Come on.
‘Daddy’s here now,
daddy’s here now.’
‘Let’s drink some scotch.’
– Hey!
Why sing about scotch
to my little girl?
Here, take this.
Why are you carrying this junk?
This is Parth Kaul’s
treasure chest.
Some records, tapes
and stuffs like that.
Dad’s?
– Yes.
What do I do with them?
Well, this is all he’s left
behind. Keep them.
Uncle, I know all his tunes
inside out.
Every time he made a new tune,
he would come running to me.
This is useless to me.
But I thought Smriti
didn’t let you meet him.
A traveler always find
his destination, right?
How could Smriti let you
become a musician?
Seen me work out, uncle?
She’s just too old
to match these muscles.
Like father, like son.
The singing sensation, Mak!
Makarand. He sings amazing!
And the best part is
he fits in our budget.
As in, for free!
You’re such a miser.
Your father respected
a man’s talent.
Always rewarded
his musicians well.
Right! And left me dusty
tapes as inheritance.
Sir! So, let’s start!
– Sure.
One! Two! Three!
‘Oh, prophet!’
Guys!
Sir! Sir. Good morning!
Let’s go.
Sir, you sing so well!
Take this. It’s your reward.
Next time we’ll down
a few drinks before we record.
Come, this way.
Hey!
Hey, what’s up, eye candy?
– God..
Hey Raunak!
Hey Narayan!
Come here!
Set the bass line. I’m getting
my visa stamped. – Okay.
So fast..
Raunak, where’s Sonic?
Where is Sonic?
Sonic! Sonic! Run!
Scoundrel!
Shonali! Shonali! Take it easy!
– Get out of my way, Raunak!
Shonali..
– Get out of my way!
How dare he! – You witch!
I’m going to kill you!
Someone take him away!
– Hey!
What the..
The music stopped,
so I stepped out.
I saw Shonali.. She always had
anger management issues.
She was thrashing her boyfriend
in full public view.
Sonic, stop it! Stop it!
Bouncers! Where are they?
Let’s get the heck out of here!
– Yes, let’s have a party..
Sonic! Leave it!
Raunak, manage the console.
– Why are you grabbing me?
Shonali, enough!
Stop it, stop it!
Why isn’t anyone doing anything?
Of course, we don’t..
– Let me go!
No!
– Please come out with me.
No! I am not coming!
– Come on. Let’s go.
And then a song started
playing, ‘Prophet’.
I was like,
what the prophet, man!
‘Oh prophet! This mockery!
Is this poverty or riches?’
What is this?
– ‘This is pauperism.’
‘This is pauperism.’
‘Groove, oh prophet!’
– Wait!
‘Groove, oh prophet!’
‘Groove, oh prophet!
Groove to the tune!’
‘Groove! Groove! Groove!’
‘Groove, oh prophet!
Groove to the tune!’
‘Groove, oh prophet!
Groove to the tune!’
When the song was created
I never thought
it would be played at a club
and people would dance on it.
Not many knew that Raunak
had good music sense.
Rock, jazz, Indian classical.
His set went on long
into that night.
But I knew it right at the start
Raunak had mojo, man!
‘Oh prophet! This mockery!
Is this poverty or riches?’
‘This is pauperism.’
‘Groove, oh prophet!
Groove to the tune!’
‘Groove, oh prophet!
Groove to the tune!’
‘Groove, oh prophet!
Groove to the tune!’
‘Groove, oh prophet!
Groove to the tune!’
You’re the man!
– ‘Groove, oh prophet!’
Hey, your Highness!
King of the turntables!
Welcome to Charlie land.
Give me your hand, brother.
You’re a rock star, man.
I’m your biggest fan
since last night.
Here, check my Facebook
status last night.
‘There are DJs who play music’
‘and there are DJs
who play the crowd.’
‘Last night I saw them both!’
That’s you, brother!
Read the comments, brother.
You’ve got oodles of talent,
so did Parth Kaul.
Oh don’t look surprised!
I knew Parth.
I know everybody!
But Parth didn’t have something
that you’ve today!
Charlie, brother!
I’ve got the blueprint
to your career.
I can get you the albums.
I can get you the concerts.
I can get you the music videos.
I can even get you
the movies, man!
Can you get me a drink?
Did you make that song?
Any doubts?
No!
Bhan said you made it with
a second hand computer
and a first class urchin.
He was wrong.
Second hand computer
and a first class artist!
Oh!
But Raunak, now we need to
scratch the next level.
Your own studio.
You serious?
Every hero has a story.
Tell me your flashback.
If possible, narrate it today.
I was six years old
when my father passed away.
And he left behind
a disconsolate, young mother
and a sad little lost kid.
It’s a very tragic story,
Charlie. Want to hear more?
Let’s have a drink instead.
There’s tremendous drama
in the climax.
Next time.
I thought the same.
You know,
the best thing about music?
The melodies, the solo guitars.
The chicks.
Bro, the chicks.
Music is..
It’s like their honey.
And they…
are like bees.
I made two rap songs.
Really?
– Yes! In the 90’s.
The honeybees!
Honeybees!
I hardly come this side now.
One is that Alibaug is
too far from the city.
I considered moving out here
but leaving Bombay is
not everyone’s cup of tea.
Anyway! Welcome to my villa!
Before I got divorced,
we held several parties here.
A guest house for the guests
to make merry.
A swimming pool
where I learnt swimming
with twin sisters.
This might go to my wife after
the divorce settlement.
But my paradise of sin
will hereafter
be your studio.
‘Break that! Take that!
Shake that! DJ, come on!’
‘Break that! Take that!
Shake that! DJ, come on!’
We heard about this DJ Raunak
blowing the lid off this place.
Overnight, Tango Charlie became
the most happening club.
Raunak had something every DJ
wanted, magical instincts.
He was well versed with
the pulse of the dance floor.
He’d rev the crowd up,
bring them down.
He used to make it like
a crazy trip.
I love you, Raunak!
Hi handsome!
‘Scream now! Take that!
Shake that! DJ, come on!’
‘Scream now! Take that!
Shake that! DJ, come on!’
I was single again.
So we started dating.
Go, Raunak!
Raunak!
Raunak didn’t have a stop
button, only fast forward.
It was completely mad, okay?
Charlie land was
like this mad blast.
Come on, move it!
– Yes!
Come on, you got the move.
Hit it!
– Come on, Raunak!
No, Charlie! No! No!
‘Scream now! Take that!
Shake that! DJ, come on!’
‘Scream now! Take that!
Shake that! DJ, come on!’
Hey! One second..
No!
Hey! Who are you?
Who are you and what are
you doing in my room?
I brought you home.
You were wasted!
Me?
– No, me.
Alright.
Now, get out of here.
Just a minute.
You’re not real, are you?
What do you want to hear?
A yes or a no?
I thought as much.
What’s your name?
Johnny.
My friends call me Johnny.
Johnny Joker, eh?
Was a hit song
when I was a kid.
I know, I remember.
My dad recorded a session
for that song.
It was Biddu’s song, right?
Sung by Shweta Shetty.
‘My name is Johnny Joker.’
‘Carefree, Johnny!
Johnny Joker!’
‘Crazy, heartbreaker..’
Oh God! He’s still here.
– ‘The heart..’
‘It isn’t a toy candy..’
Enough! Now get out of here.
I need to sleep.
Huh?
This is no time to sleep.
– I know. But I’m helpless.
I keep shuttling endlessly
from the club to the studio.
I’m exhausted!
And these mosquitoes..
They have ruined
my happiness, man!
It’s about time they had ration
cards for these mosquitoes.
There’s more mosquitoes
in this city, than human beings.
Why don’t move out there?
Where?
At Alibaugh, in the studio.
Talk to Charlie about it.
What are you thinking
so seriously?
You will find a mosquito spray
in the market
but you can’t find a tune
at the market.
Will you miss me?
– Raunak!
I’ll miss you very much.
– Are you shifting to Alibaug?
Why do you need
to move out, dear?
Go on, go out and play.
Come on, go!
You’re going to act
sentimental, are you?
All right, I won’t go.
I want to focus on music.
If you say, I’ll drop in twice
every week for a drink.
Now smile.
Love you.
Just a second.
I’ll just get my bags.
Recording music
is a high in itself.
You got to roll, baby!
You got to roll..
…all night long.
Back then, whoever called
into the radio station
would only ask for one song.
Always! ‘What the F!
What the F! What the F!’
‘The world is in smokes,
it’s the intoxication of might.’
‘Don’t you be scared.’
‘Have all lost their way or have
all found their destination?’
‘Cause tonight, it’s all.’
‘Just can’t make this over.’
‘We are going to find
a way now.’
‘If you can, try to stop me.’
‘I am going down!
Down! Down!’
‘What the F is going on?’
‘Can’t slow down!
What the F is going on?’
‘I didn’t see,
what the F is going on!’
‘I am fallen over.
– Oh can’t you see!’
We’d record our sessions
and go home at night.
He’d be at it.
When we would go back in the
morning, the mix was ready.
‘What do I do?
My life is locked in a bottle.’
‘Be it morning or evening,
night or day’
‘What is this high?’
‘Cause tonight’s, the night.
– The night!’
‘Going to take you over.’
‘I am going to get
you high now.’
‘You must know the secret.’
‘I am going down.
Down! Down!’
‘What the F is going on?’
‘I am falling over!
– ..you can’t see!’
‘Music.. music..’
Hi handsome!
Club, music, life!
Everything was on top gear.
‘What the F!’
– Dude! Check out his pose, man.
He’s so cool!
What’s up!
– What’s this, Charlie?
‘What the F!’
– You should have consulted me.
I’d have spoken to Gudda and
designed something better.
What?
For the doll.
The black jacket is so 80’s.
Whatever, man! Dude, do you
know where I got you a gig?
And would you call it
an action figure, please?
Doll sounds really gay!
Yeah! Call him whatever..
Who cares!
What’s up with her, man!
Dude! I’ve plugged you
to play at Sunburn!
I’ve heard of a suntan.
What’s Sunburn?
I don’t believe you, man.
Sunburn just happens to be
Asia’s largest concert, brother!
I’ve got you a show there.
You serious?
– Yes, I’m serious.
You’re going to Sunburn. Yes!
– Charlie, you are the best!
Aren’t I? It’s okay.
Take it easy.
Thank you!
– The best!
I had told you,
Charlie can do anything.
Can he pass the suntan?
– There she goes again.
Sweetie!
Sweetie, can we go home?
My masseuse must be
on her way. Please.
Here, sweetie!
– What the..
Gudda!
Seriously, man,
why are you still with her?
Is she keeping you by force?
Honeybee!
What you’re saying!
Multiple entry? – Yes.
Nice! Good boy.
Baby? Baby?
Raunak’s thinking had changed
and so did his behavior.
It was under
Charlie’s influence.
If you want to remember the most
important moment of your life
this is it!
Your friend piles
on the pressure very sweetly.
Come on..
Hi!
What happened?
– Nothing.
Nothing?
I have known Charlie, ever
since I came to this industry.
I never took him seriously.
He’s a little..
It’s just like that.
He would call me
and insist me to meet Raunak.
He would call me and bore me.
He fried my brains out.
So I said, ‘Alright,
let’s meet the guy.’.
‘We are travelling on
the paths of love.’
‘Don’t forbid me.’
‘Whoever I met on the road’
‘I embraced them happily.’
‘I embraced them.’
‘I accept pain.’
‘I accept peace.’
Pain reminds me.
Where’s Shonali these days?
She’s on a calendar shoot.
– Okay.
Looks like her days
are numbered.
Get serious.
This could be your big break.
I know. Now get out of here.
I have to sleep.
The game’s about to begin.
Are you nervous?
Yes! This is why,
I came to Mumbai.
Now that I am scared,
I’m going back.
Now leave me alone.
I have to sleep.
Dude, don’t you fly on
the ninth cloud.
Just because you’re a star
at your club
doesn’t mean you have
become AR Rahman.
They call him the Mozart
from Madras.
You’re not even a Beethoven
from Bandra.
Just admit it. You’re scared
of being a failure, right?
What if you’ve inherited
failure as well?
Your Sunburn interview is on TV.
Go watch it quickly.
Music is everywhere in Goa.
In the shacks, pubs, discs.
There’s music outdoors,
there’s music indoors.
You know doors?
My friend Jimmy Morison..
Keep your eyes on the road
and hands up on the…
And what do you think
about the vibe here in Goa?
Goa gives you a high and
you go higher and higher.
Turn up the volume.
A little more.
A little more.
Turn down the damn volume.
– Do you ever drop your volume?
Now I’ll ask you a question.
Why do people come back to Goa?
I’ll tell you.
– I said, turn the volume down.
Because Goa means Goa.
– Have you gone deaf?
Have you gone and lost your
mind? – Go and come back.
Goa! Goa!
I know it’s a little
philosophical but to get hurt..
You know, Raunak,
if you drink a little less
then maybe you’ll speak
something sensible.
I’m just an ordinary fuse..
I’m fed up of you!
You’ve become a bum.
– The fuse that connects music.
You don’t even take shower
until noon.
What is the matter..
– I’m the fuse.
If I shutdown,
there will be a bang!
This is really not,
what I had asked for.
How disgusting! You’re drinking
without brushing your teeth.
What are you blabbering?
Whatever! Just come down!
Come down.
So in any case,
I want this fixed.
I’m thinking of landscaping
the garden.
What do you think?
Oh!
Ma’am, will the master
have breakfast?
He will instead have
some drinks.
He is allergic to breakfast.
So what do you think?
Wrought iron or cane?
How about a bit of both?
Saraswati, you know that
she’s short-tempered.
Sir, I’m Laxmi.
Take care of yourself,
Saraswati.
Sir, it’s Laxmi.
I understand, Saraswati.
Here.
This should be enough until you
find a new job, Saraswati.
Sir, it’s Laxmi.
– Driver! Hey! Get in.
He seems to be deaf.
Do load your luggage.
Raunak’s problem started
aggravating slowly
with routine things.
He kept it to himself,
kept ignoring it.
He thought, it’s a normal.
It will be alright.
I’d have done the same thing.
Good morning!
So, what I want to do, is a
Punjabi wedding atmosphere.
Whatever angst they are feeling,
the people sitting around
having dinner, she’s sitting on
the other side of his table.
So that’s the basic scene..
And then we get to the song.
Whatever they want to say..
You listening to me, Raunak?
The first few sessions
were quite dull.
Actually, Raunak had
the potential
he had enormous talent
but he lacked focus.
I mean, he’d be physically
present before me
but his mind was
someplace far away.
So I told Charlie
to give him some space
and he would start focusing.
That would help him channel
his talent better.
Cut this nonsense!
You should play jazz
in a hotel lobby!
This isn’t making sense!
Hit it hard! Come on!
Do you know,
what it means to hit hard?
Do you understand drumming?
Do you?
Hit it! Hit it! Like this!
What’s your problem now?
– If he’s down, I’m down.
It’s a strike!
What?
– Strike!
Strike?
Are you making music
or working in a factory?
You want to start a union?
Darn you, Zoozoo!
Retire, if you don’t
want to work.
They think this is a government
office and not a studio.
Hit the guitar hard!
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
‘Oh Lord! Hail Lord Shiva!’
‘Oh Lord! Hail Lord Shiva!’
‘Oh Lord! Hail Lord Shiva!’
‘Oh Lord! Hail Lord Shiva!’
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
‘Cleanse my soul, oh Lord.’
‘Cleanse my soul, oh Lord.’
‘Guide your disciples,
oh my Lord!’
‘Guide your disciples,
oh my Lord!’
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
‘Oh Lord! Hail Lord Shiva!’
‘Oh Lord! Hail Lord Shiva!’
‘Oh Lord! Hail Lord Shiva!’
‘Oh Lord! Hail Lord Shiva!’
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
I’m so sorry, I was..
I’m going for a shower.
I’m going for a shower.
So what?
You want me to call the media?
What?
I asked if you want me to call
a press conference?
It’s a bath, for God’s sake.
She’s so rude to you.
You must sue her for it.
Section 332, voluntarily
causing grievous hurt.
His DJ sets were
getting affected.
He would never be sober
at the club.
Hey DJ!
‘Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!’
Thanks! You remembered?
Why should I forget it?
I know.
‘Happy birthday, dear Raunak!’
How come I can hear
your voice crystal clear?
What’s happening to me?
What’s happening to me?
– I don’t know!
Trust me.
I really don’t know.
What is going on, Raunak?
Nothing much.
I just had a meeting with
the producer of the movie.
He said, he wants to listen to
the tracks, if they are ready.
The boss seems angry.
– Shhh!
What the heck..
Hey dude!
They have finalized the dates
for the shooting.
The artists have given
their dates. So?
I’m on it, Charlie!
Why are you after my life?
– Oh man!
This is nonsense!
Charlie, either sit down
or you can dance on my head!
Kind sir, please. – I just might
do that you know.
Be seated.
Thank you.
I was at the gig last night.
Yeah! He’s the man!
Rock star!
I know.
It was a bit off.
Just a little wee bit.
A little.
– Oh shut up!
What do you mean off?
Have you gone crazy?
I’ve seen worse before!
But this!
This is worse than that!
She’s knows everything
about motions.
No one asked for your opinion.
Just shut up and get out! Out!
– Are you talking to me?
How.. How dare you?!
Some nerve you got to..
Scoundrel, what are
you looking at?
It’s all because of you!
– Why?
You know what, the both of you
Go to hell. Die. Together!
It’s over!
Madam, should I help
you pack things?
Leave me alone!
Please leave me alone!
Listen Shonali!
– Not again.
Take your childhood photographs
along with you.
Hey brother! Listen!
Raunak, get up.
There’s no one here now.
It’s just me.
She has left.
But for a change,
she did made sense.
You know that it was bad.
I mean come on, it was bad!
Not bad?
You’ve gone deaf!
What?
You have turned deaf!
Deaf..
You have gone deaf!
You’ve gone deaf, scoundrel!
I’m handling the producers here,
holding them at bay!
Look dude, Anurag is the
perfect guy. He’s a dude.
But he’ll not wait for you!
Get it?
Charlie, come on! Relax!
It’s a temporary problem,
I’ll be okay.
This is no dent on the car
that it’s a temporary thing
that can be fixed.
You’re barely even able to
follow this conversation!
Here’s my advice, mate!
Go consult a doctor.
Charlie, I have an idea.
I think, I should go
see a doctor!
What do you say?
Mr. Kaul, tell me
about your lifestyle.
Please be honest with me.
Would be good for you.
Do you smoke?
Cigarettes?
Yes.
How many?
– One packet.
Two packets on the days
when there is a gig.
And alcohol?
Drinks, Mr. Kaul?
I like drinks.
– Lovely. How many?
Two, four.. Sometimes six.
– Six?
Should I include beer?
Of course. Even a beer can
give you a high, right?
Do I count a beer
as one peg or two?
Two, let’s say two.
..six, seven..
Make it fifteen. Round figure.
– Fifteen?
What about drugs?
What kind?
Ayurvedic. Grass, weed.
The stuffs that hermits smoke.
Anything else?
I tried heroin,
but it didn’t suit me.
Why?
– I was too drunk at the time.
Must’ve gotten mixed.
Ecstasy pills.
But I have a rule
I take party drugs
only after parties.
Anything else?
Cocaine. Never tried it.
It’s too expensive.
Tell me something
why are things made in a lab
always expensive?
Cocaine is so expensive,
isn’t it?
Yes.
So.. What about like sex?
Do you practice safe sex?
You should meet my girlfriend.
Even a conversation
with her isn’t safe.
‘Never stop and give up.’
‘Only after failure,
will you achieve success.’
‘Never stop and give up.’
‘Only after failure,
will you achieve success.’
‘Oh wanderer!’
‘Oh wanderer!’
‘Oh wanderer! Oh wanderer!’
Mr. Kaul, the human body has
incredible regeneration skills.
Come to the point, doctor.
What’s wrong with me?
Look, don’t panic.
You’re going to lose
your hearing completely.
It’s just a matter of time.
You have something
called Tinnitus.
It happens due to prolonged
exposure to loud sounds.
Your right ear
is completely useless
but the left ear
is still 30 percent functional
at the moment.
I’ll explain.
Mr. Kaul, this..
Mr. Kaul!
This is your cochlea.
This reads the vibrations
and translates them to the brain
so you understand the sounds
you hear.
Now this cochlea is filled
with a fluid which is leaking.
I think it’s.. It’s hereditary.
Can’t we plug the leak
with a quick fix or something?
It is an extremely
delicate area.
A surgery isn’t going
to be of much help.
You have to stay away from your
professional environment.
No music?
I’m afraid, yes.
Mr. Kaul, I only have
one piece of advice for you
that you must stay
in complete silence.
Complete silence.
There is a chance that
your hearing gets better.
Do all you can
to rejuvenate your body.
Quit smoking, drinking, drugs,
everything. Please!
You have to sleep well.
Is there nothing
you can do, doctor?
This is a hearing aid.
You must use it
only when required.
How could we have figured?
Music is always blaring
in the studio or the club.
He’d stare at the screen so,
we assumed he was high.
The side effects of
a profession.
Raunak’s ailment is quite common
among DJs and musicians.
Especially rock stars!
Like Pete Townsend.
And of course, Beethoven,
the greatest composer.
He finally turned deaf.
‘There is no companion,
no company’
‘this is your test of fire.’
‘There is no companion,
no company’
‘this is your test of fire.’
Do you know,
what is your problem?
It’s become imperative for you
to entertain every time.
You’re always performing
for them.
You’ve got too used to people
music and crowd around you.
It’s become your addiction.
And if you don’t have that,
you need alcohol, right?
‘Drink it, Johnny Joker..’
I have to quit everything.
I can’t do anything
with you around.
‘Let no one stop you
by calling you out.’
‘Oh wanderer! Oh wanderer!’
‘Never stop and give up.’
‘Only after failure,
will you achieve success.’
Should I tell your mother?
She would be happy to hear it.
I’ve kept this from everyone.
Biscuit, Banjo, Shonali.
Some inheritance he’s left me.
Thanks dad!
I know, sir.
Just one more day, please.
Okay sir, thank you!
It was the producer.
That was Anurag’s producer
on line.
What did you say?
That you’re going through
some personal problem.
I also added that all geniuses
function the same way.
Charlie, you know what?
The doctor asked me
to take care of my ears.
I won’t be able to work
for a sometime.
What do you mean?
– Charlie
this is my only hope
that I help my ears
take rest. Please!
Rest? Rest!
What else have you been doing
since the last three months?
Look, they’ve finished shooting
their dialogue scenes
now they need the songs.
And all I know is that
you have to deliver it!
The producers even revised
their shoot schedule for you
you spoilt brat!
If you don’t deliver it on time
our contract will be..
I hope you know that
we have taken a huge sum
as advance for the job
which is blown to dust
on your vices!
You don’t DJ anymore, so that
stream has run dry as well.
I don’t give a darn. You just
have to finish this project.
You think I haven’t
thought about this?
This isn’t easy for me either.
But it’s the question of
my entire life.
I, me, mine! My life!
It’s all for me!
You are the most self-centered
rascal I’ve ever seen, Raunak.
I don’t care what you do
after this project.
But you got to get this done.
You want to rest, rest. You want
to kill yourself, be my guest!
It’s a matter of couple of weeks
get into the studio
and wrap it up.
This is nonsense, dude!
Why so grim, mate?
Let’s get done with the songs
and get out of here.
Hello? Anybody home?
What nonsense is this, man?
We’ve kept our traps
shut this whole time.
Taken your nonsense, just to
listen to this waste!
What?
– Are you deaf?
You’re deaf?
Almost.
Since when?
It’s been a while.
And it’s getting worse.
Why didn’t you tell us?
What would I have said?
It was my secret, man.
No one broadcasts about their
impotency, do they?
The right ear’s totally out.
There’s no hope.
See, nothing!
I’m hoping the left ear
may recover though.
But I’ve got to be careful.
This..
Hearing aid helps a little.
But the doctor asked me to use
it only in case of emergency.
I can hear a little with this.
Biscuit!
Biscuit, have you gone crazy?
What are you doing?
Don’t you ever slap me again.
What happened?
He does this always. Let’s go.
No! No!
‘This is life.’
‘This is life’s..’
‘This is its charm and beauty.’
‘There are a few sorrows,
a few joys..’
‘There are a few sorrows,
a few joys..’
‘This is it!
It has happy and sad times.’
‘This is life.
This is life’s..’
‘This is its charm and beauty.’
‘This is life.’
You haven’t worked on it at all,
have you?
Darn, man!
Look man, our friendship
and everything is cool
but I don’t think I can continue
with you anymore, mate.
Charlie, I can’t hear
anything anymore.
I think you have to leave now.
Oh man!
Been to a doctor?
Go to a doctor!
Or go to a mountain
to find some peace.
Do whatever it takes.
But take care of yourself, mate.
I’ll.. I’ll handle things here.
Just hope the darn producer
doesn’t sue me, man.
All the best, Raunak!
All the best.
Mr. Kaul.
This is an alternate therapy.
Give it a shot.
It might just help. Read it.
Okay. To begin with, I will put
this liquid in your ears.
Don’t worry, it’s only oil. See?
Then, I will take this candle.
It’s like a pipe,
open from both sides.
And it will create a vacuum.
Turn around.
Then, I will light this
candle up.
You’re going to start
feeling warm now
as the oil slowly flows into…
Excuse me!
How much time will it take?
Oh my, God! Oh, my God.
Help! Help!
There’s a fire! Get up!
– ‘When your eyes met mine..’
‘When our eyes met.’
‘When your eyes met mine..’
‘When our eyes met..’
‘When our eyes met..’
We had no news of him.
Charlie was quiet too.
And that Shonali also
wasn’t saying anything.
Yes, but Banjo did say that
he was in some combat rehab..
In Coimbatore. He was in
some hermitage meditating.
Yeah, the complete silence
types, you know.
So inspiring, no?
‘When your eyes met mine..’
‘When our eyes met..’
‘When your eyes met mine..’
‘When our eyes met..’
Raunak had actually shut himself
in a room.
He was convinced
that if he had to hear again
he’d have to isolate himself
from any kind of noise.
‘Why do you come
in my dreams, my beloved?’
‘Why do you come
in my dreams, my beloved?’
‘You tell me,
how do I spend my night?’
‘You tell me,
how do I spend my night?’
‘When our eyes met..’
‘When our eyes met..’
I could have stopped him
from moving to Alibaug.
I could have stopped him
from coming to Mumbai.
But he’s Parth Kaul’s son.
‘When your eyes met mine..’
‘When our eyes met..’
‘When our eyes met..’
‘When your eyes met mine..’
‘When our eyes met..’
This was the worst
phase of Raunak’s life.
I doubt if he stepped out of
his room in two months.
He was into depression.
He’d receded
into a very dark state.
One’s heard that all geniuses
lose it at some point.
He was probably going
through the same thing.
‘Oh my heart..
What does it say to me?’
‘What have your eyes
told my eyes?’
‘I am no longer at peace.
My heat’s restless.’
‘I am no longer at peace..’
Good morning, Smriti.
– Good morning.
Don’t you have to go
to the club today?
No, they’re in talks to sell it.
So it’s shut for a few days.
Do you want to meet him?
He’ll come here
when he’s ready.
You said the same for Parth.
He didn’t come though, did he?
At least not while he was alive.
Darn! Help, help!
Help! Help!
I’d completely lost hope.
I wasn’t sure,
if he was coming back.
I never doubted
whether he’d come back.
The only question for me was,
when he’d come back
and in what state!
I was going through
my own crisis at the time.
I was selling the club.
The divorce settlement
was heavy on me.
I was in dire straits,
financially.
Dark clouds loomed
larger than ever.
But you know they say,
it’s darkest just before dawn.
What’s the point
crying over spilt milk?
Oh my God! No, Raunak!
Stop! You’re finished…
You’re dead!
Raunak, no!
– Stop!
Stop!
I will not spare you!
Take this! I will not spare you!
– Raunak, don’t!
Why did you do this to me?
Tell me, why?
Who are you? Why?
Tell me, who you are?
Who are you?
Tell me!
Good that you’re here, mom.
I’m absolutely fine now!
But I have turn deaf
permanently.
No! No! Don’t give me
dialogues from the movies
that God will shower his
blessings on me.
Excuse me! Ma’am?
Hello?
Ma’am?
Ma’am! I’m talking to you..
Sorry, I didn’t mean
to scare you.
I’ve been calling out to you
since then and…
I didn’t hear you.
I’m deaf.
Deaf. I can’t..
Really?
But you don’t look deaf!
How does someone look deaf?
You thought
I’d have missing ears?
I’m deaf too.
I’m deaf.
Hey, do you remember
we’ve met before?
I almost ran over you.
I was very mad at you!
I’m sorry for the other day..
Sorry? Gauri.
Gauri.
Gauri.
– Gauri.
I’m Raunak.
Raunak.
Raunak? Would you
like to learn lip reading?
I can’t…
Lip.. Wait!
Lip reading?
How much time will it take?
Raunak, in a way,
it’s a good thing
that you’ve gone deaf
later in life
and weren’t born that way.
You have the memory of sound.
You know what a sound
or a word sounds like.
All you need to learn now
is to connect the sounds
to visuals.
I think, you’re overlooking the
fact that I can’t lip read yet.
I don’t understand
anything you say.
Isn’t there an easier way?
Lips.
Lips? Okay.
You can recognize
any sound or word
by reading my lips or tongue.
And may be my facial
expressions too.
You need to focus on
these now and feel it.
Shall we try?
Try?
– Try.
Try! I have to try.
Aaa!
Vee!
Pee!
It could also be a Bee, right?
Pee?
Bee.. Pee.. Bee.. Pee..
Tuh ree.. Tuh ree..
Tree?
Tuh ree! Gau ree! Sau ree!
Aaa! Ap-ple.
A for apple!
Buh! Baa.
Enough! He’s just like
his father.
Are you deaf?
Banjo! Buh!
Are you hungry?
Go to hell!
Sho – naa – lee!
Chuh!
Come on.
Uncle!
– Uncle Raunak!
Charlie!
The honeybees.
He’s a scoundrel.
Dude!
– Dhuh, Duh!
D for desolate,
D for drinking!
It’s time you had milk.
Gaa! Go!
Buy Gauri some flowers.
I’ve got flowers for you.
Foo. Fuh.
Gaa! Kaa!
Concentrate!
Muh..
– Memory of sound.
Muh..
I’ve got mom on my side.
Suh… – Self-centered
scoundrel, Raunak!
Shuh! – Chances are, you
shall never hear again.
Shh! She’s sleeping.
Contract! Deception!
Vuh!
Don’t worry.
Vee. Whiskey.
There’s no exam for lip reading.
Raw!
Think you’re a rock star?
– DJ Raunak.
Raunak!
Raunak! Raunak!
The
quick
brown
fox
jumps
over
lazy
dog.
The quick brown fox jumps
over the lazy dog.
The quick brown fox jumps
over the lazy dog!
That man is pointing
to his heart.
No! He’s getting a pen
from his pocket
and asking the other guy
to note a number.
Nine..
Nine B..
Darn! How the hell am
I going to do it?
Raunak, don’t panic.
Don’t give up so soon.
These things are bound
to take time.
It’s difficult to understand
language without sound
but not as difficult as for a
blind to understand colors.
The day will come soon
when you can just look at
a person and understand
what he’s saying.
Most importantly
get comfortable with
your deafness
and the fact that
it’s never going to change.
Accept it!
All your other senses will
become strong automatically.
Your world will change.
Trust me.
I’ve never heard
a sound in my life
but I realized
the beauty of creation.
Come on, try again,
with a different pair.
Let’s practice.
Okay.
That man is demanding money
from the woman. 300,000.
The woman says, it’s too much.
The man says the job’s too risky
and he won’t do it for any less.
The woman says
she only has 30,000.
The man is threatening
to torture her.
Gauri, this woman’s hired a
contract killer for her husband.
Didn’t you just ask me
to strengthen my other senses?
When everything seems blank, one
resorts to imagination, right?
Caught you!
– Be careful!
What did you feed him
as a child, Smriti?
I’m going to sing a song
for you.
‘Now I’ve gone completely deaf,
I can’t hear a thing I say.’
‘But even today in my heart,
I can hear this tune..’
He’s still trying to make music.
Youth and madness,
they’re one and the same thing.
I know you guys are
talking about me.
Am I right, uncle?
Mom, now I’m not one
bit depressed at all.
Whatever happened are bygones.
I don’t regret anything anymore
and neither should you.
Sadness has no entry
to my heart anymore.
What say, uncle? Cheers?
Gauri had definitely cast
a spell on him.
Raunak wasn’t telling me much
but, a mother always knows.
He had changed.
Gauri, you are a rock star!
Rock star!
This means, I love you!
I love you. I love you.
Driver, what’s your name?
It’s Peter, ma’am.
Could you increase the volume?
I can’t hear a thing.
Yes, ma’am.
I just asked him to up
the deck volume
because I couldn’t hear a thing.
Do you know
how funny you look?
Peter, did you see how funny
he looks, when he’s kissing?
I’m your teacher. I can’t do
this with my student.
If you want to kiss me
then first take me out
on a romantic date.
Let’s go!
Where are you taking her?
I don’t know.
– Okay.
I’ll decide after
I pick her up.
Plan to marry her?
Do you plan to marry her?
Mom! It’s our first date!
It’s too early to talk
about marriage.
Why? It’s not early,
if you love her.
The world remembers
Romeo and Juliet.
They only met thrice. They died
in their third meeting.
And you want me to be
dead on my first date, right?
Anyway, how do I look?
– Very handsome.
Bye!
Gauri!
Gauri?
Hi!
You.. – Don’t you
remember I’m deaf?
There’s no point
banging the door.
Every door in the neighborhood
will open up, except mine.
So how did you know?
Wow!
There’s always an alternative
and it’s usually more beautiful.
Shall we?
Good evening, ma’am!
Good evening, sir.
What would you like
anything to drink?
One fresh lime.
– Okay.
Sweet and salted, mixed.
Mixed. – Okay.
And for you, ma’am?
Scotch, please?
Sure, ma’am.
What did you order?
Wait and see?
Sir, your fresh lime soda.
Ma’am, your double whiskey.
You ordered whiskey?
– Why?
No, it’s just
I used to drink whiskey earlier.
I quit. I had visions
of Johnny Joker.
No one ever turned deaf
due to alcohol, Raunak.
God gave us booze,
to drink and make merry.
Cheers to the DJ!
– And cheers to you.
I was talking about that DJ.
You miss it a lot, don’t you?
Never wished for anything
more than music.
Anything less than silence
would’ve been okay.
It’ll come.
Nothing, but the bill will come.
Miracles can happen.
Why are you so optimistic?
Because it doesn’t cost a dime.
There’s music even
in these ruins.
This temple is 500 years old.
The rulers back in the day
told the best artisans
to create something memorable.
The most interesting thing is
if you tap these pillars softly
they emanate musical notes.
How does it matter
when you can’t hear a thing?
Don’t hear it.
Feel it in your heart.
Come.
The world sees with its eyes,
he began to hear.
Raunak developed
a genius system.
He studied the waveforms
of the songs he remembered.
He was beginning to see music
instead of hearing it.
He started finding rhythm
in everyday things.
He could only hear music
around him.
‘We will love
each other openly.’
‘We will not be scared
of this world.’
‘We love each other,
it’s no theft.’
‘Our hearts met,
it was effortless.’
‘We’ll do as we please. Why
should we care about the world?’
‘We will love
each other openly.’
‘We will not be scared
of this world.’
‘Hey look! They are
romancing secretly.’
‘But what’s the fun,
if they are scared from within.’
‘Looks like they are neighbors.’
‘They share a strange relation.
Let them be.’
‘We’ll do as we please. Why
should we care about the world?’
‘We will love each other
openly.’
‘We will not be scared
of this world.’
‘We will love each other
openly.’
‘We will not be scared
of this world.’
‘We will love each other
openly.’
‘We will not be scared
of this world.’
Sounds good.
Come on, wind up for the day.
Just give me two minutes.
Now!
Or I’m going to run around
the whole house naked.
That simplifies my job.
No trouble understanding
that, eh?
Where are you going?
Come here. You are dead.
I won’t spare you today.
Gauri, stop!
Oh my God! Gauri, careful!
I’m here to say sorry, Charlie.
I know you were
depending on me.
I messed it.
Is that what you’re
apologizing for?
Charlie, I can’t hear you.
I read lips.
Is that what you’re sorry for?
Do you think
no one else has problems
in this world?
What about Charlie’s problems?
Tango!
Do you know, I had to…
Do you know I had to sell
my nightclub?
You know what is it called now?
Soundtrack!
I can’t even say,
I heard about that
because I am deaf.
Look Charlie, I’m sorry
things turned out this way.
I can only say sorry
and nothing else.
Nothing at all.
This..
You must hear this, please.
Your opinion matters to me.
Bye.
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry
you had to leave the villa.
My wife got it
in the settlement.
It’s okay, Charlie.
The verdict on my hearing
was settled before yours.
Don’t forget to hear this.
I’ve worked really hard.
‘Stay for some time..’
Hey! Open the door!
Raunak!
‘Stay back for some time.’
Hey Romeo!
Open the door, man.
‘Don’t go. Stay for some time.’
– No!
Somebody, anybody home?
Look behind you.
Behind you.
Charlie.
Holy cow, Raunak!
– Hey, relax!
Oh, sorry.
Charlie, that’s Gauri
and my mom!
Hello.
– Hello.
Hi, Charlie.
– Hi!
She’s deaf, like me.
– Your mom?
Is being deaf some kind of
family business for you guys?
Charlie, not my mom, Gauri.
Gauri.
Oh.
Tea?
– Charlie doesn’t drink tea.
Right, Charlie?
– No! No!
Come.
– Lets go.
Okay, buddy, be honest now.
Did you make this?
How is it?
Do you think I was missing you
so late at night?
Charlie, please tell me.
How is it? I never heard it.
What do you mean
you haven’t heard it?
Charlie, I’m completely deaf.
Completely?
– Pin drop silence.
Then how’s this..
Charlie, I can’t hear,
but I can still hear.
Oh man! Brother!
Come here, man.
Man.
This is good.
This is very good!
This is very good!
You have no idea how..
Charlie, relax. Control.
I can’t hear you,
no point shouting.
Oh! Okay.
Good, good, good!
You have no idea
how good this is!
When we release this album
you will be
a superstar overnight.
People lobe inspirational
stories, like yours.
You watch reality shows, right?
Yeah!
Charlie, I don’t think
we should tell people
that I am deaf.
– Why not?
I don’t want any
sympathy or charity.
Brother, have you gone crazy?
Musicians are a dime-a-dozen
in this town.
Has anyone ever heard of a deaf
composer around here? No!
We must take advantage of it.
You should be business
minded sometimes.
Charlie, all I want to know
if my music is good,
despite being deaf.
Oh my love, take it from me..
Not me.
Take it in writing from a guy
with an ear for music.
You are going to be a role
model for people, definitely!
They’ll even make a feature
film on your life story.
You.. You must
apply make-up, buddy.
Roll camera, sound!
Sorry, no sound! Action!
I was going through
dark phase.
And then I discovered
genuine fairness.
I used
New Emami Fair and Handsome
created for men.
‘Hi handsome! Hi handsome!’
And I found my destination.
‘Hi handsome!’
Do you hear me?
Cut! Pack up!
What’s up?
Have you gone crazy?
Why is your hair red?
Have you seen your hair?
Ever slide my hand in there
a pair of sparrows might
come flying out.
Want me to talk about your face?
Looks like you were made
in a lab.
Now you’re talking just like
my ex-girlfriend.
You shouldn’t have broken
up with her.
Truth hurts, doesn’t it?
Does that hurt?
Now you’re talking just
like my future wife.
Was that your proposal?
Well, I thought you were
a fast learner.
But now, it looks like
I have to stay
with you all my life
and teach you things.
So does that amount
to acceptance?
Your Highness!
Here he is.
Hey, the king and queen
of subtitles!
Charlie, what kind of mockery
is this?
I don’t like this.
Please.
Here you go.
– What’s this now?
Keys to my villa.
I want you to keep it.
Keep it?
– Yes. Keep it.
You only gave me a doll
for my first album.
You’re giving me keys
this time.
The doll reminds me..
Tada!
The Raunak action figure,
version 2.0.
Pa-dum… how do you do?
– ‘Raunak is here!’
Charlie, I don’t want any
of this showbiz now.
Hey listen!
Come on brother, please.
I really don’t have the time
for all this.. – Charlie, this..
Please, buddy.
The press is on its way.
I have to go receive them.
You also get ready, alright?
Okay, bye!
Good evening ladies and
gentlemen. Welcome to..
Cue track number 2.
Play it when we get to that
part, okay? Good.
He’s doing all this
for publicity. – You are right.
Hi!
Okay!
Welcome ladies and gentlemen!
Thanks for coming.
Well! Two years ago,
he came to our city.
Armed only with
a bag pack and a guitar.
Today, we have with us
a role model and an inspiration.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Raunak Kaul!
Now you can ask him
questions directly.
He can read your lips.
– Excuse me, sir!
Yes, ma’am.
– Sir, here.
You could hear once,
now you’re deaf.
How does that make you feel?
From where you are,
I may be deaf to you.
Similarly, from where I see you,
you are mute.
Nothing has changed,
except my perspective.
Thanks.
– Whoa! I say, Raunak!
But how can a deaf man compose
music? How is it possible?
Everything is possible,
if you want to make it possible.
Who said a deaf man can’t
compose music?
Didn’t Beethoven do it?
He was deaf too.
– Excuse me, hello!
Are you comparing yourself
to Beethoven?
No! I’m not comparing
myself to Beethoven.
All I’m trying to say is you
don’t need ears to make music
you need a soul.
And I’m not here for
any publicity either.
I made this album, when I’d
lost my sense of hearing.
I had a song composed by my
father, which I’ve recreated
in my own way.
That’s it!
But how do we believe that
you composed the song?
I don’t need to prove myself
to subwoofers like you!
Please go home.
Thank you so much. – What?
I don’t need to prove myself
to these people, Charlie.
Raunak.
– What’s happening?
Raunak, come back.
Where are you going?
Stop it, Raunak.
Sir!
– He’s over reacting.
Raunak, come back, man!
Darn!
Charlie, you need to talk to
the press. Come on.
You can’t talk to
the press like this.
Come on, guys! Please.
Guys, calm down!
What’s happening?
– He’s a creative man.
He’s an artiste.
There was certainly no need
to misbehave with him.
Misbehave! We haven’t
misbehaved, sir.
You say, he’s deaf.
He says, he’s deaf.
All we want to know is, how did
he compose music being deaf!
Or else, this is
a publicity stunt.
Hey, come on! Raunak Kaul
is deaf for a fact.
He composed an album
despite being deaf.
Trust me on this, brother!
I mean
a guy, overcomes his disability
and is setting an example
a role model,
an inspiration for others.
But he still has to prove
his talent and capabilities
to people like us.
People like us, who have
no achievements in life.
Come on, man!
Being a deaf musician
is tougher than being
a one-legged footballer
or a blind painter.
Just because he looks normal
doesn’t mean
he isn’t handicapped.
You have got to..
– Charlie.
I think we should do a concert.
I have got the clearances.
We can do this.
Let’s do it, man!
Yes.
Excuse me, sir?
You wanted proof?
You’ll get it.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Raunak Kaul
will perform live in concert,
Saturday night!
He’s the man!
He’s a genius!
And he’s a true blue rock star.
Rumor has it that to convince
Raunak to perform
Charlie had to shave
off all his hair.
All of it!
‘It’s a small world.
The paths are familiar.’
‘We will meet someplace,
you will meet sometime.’
‘I would ask about
your wellbeing.’
Good luck.
I feel a little less nervous
with you two around.
What an evening!
Some new faces,
some old friends.
Thank you so much for coming!
I would like to thank
our sponsors
especially our music
label Saregama
for believing in us and
giving us this opportunity.
And now without any further ado
please welcome the man
who makes handicapped
people look cool.
Beethoven from Bandra,
Raunak Kaul!
This is it, brother!
I believe in you.
Yes! Yes. Keep it going!
Go, Raunak!
Can you guys hear me?
But I can’t hear you.
So please applaud
as loud as you can.
Some people believe
that I’m not deaf.
I don’t quite care about
what they have to say.
And some others,
who think I can’t hear
might sympathize with me,
at how unfortunate I am.
But I think, I’m a very
fortunate man.
Not many get to realize their
father’s unfulfilled dreams.
So thanks, dad.
What an inheritance
you’ve left me indeed!
I had lost my way for some time.
There is someone
who guided me.
Literally.
Tonight, it is my turn.
‘I belong to her and she to me’
‘be it good or bad times.’
‘I belong to her and she to me’
‘be it good or bad times.’
‘Our tale will go down
as a legend.’
‘I belong to her and she to me’
‘be it good or bad times.’
‘I belong to her and she to me’
‘be it good or bad times.’
‘Our tale will go down
as a legend.’
‘I’m many lovers,
but no one who’s lovesick.’
‘I’m many daggers,
but only one needed to slay.’
I’m the storms,
which always found a shore.’
‘I’m many beads,
which make one single anklet.’
‘I’m a few ballads,
sung in one concert.’
‘I have seen many fools
being led by one wise man.’
‘I have been down many roads
but I have one destination.’
‘One destination!’
‘I belong to her and she to me’
‘be it good or bad times.’
‘I belong to her and she to me’
‘be it good or bad times.’
‘Our tale will go down
as a legend.’
‘I’m many lovers,
but no one who’s lovesick.’
‘I’m many religions,
but a believer.’
‘I have many desires, but only
one has to be realized.
‘There may be many eyes,
one bit of kohl.’
‘If there a many illiterates,
I am the teacher.’
‘Scores of rejecters,
but I am a faithful.’
‘I have been down many roads
but I have one destination.’
‘One destination!’
‘I belong to her and she to me’
‘be it good or bad times.’

Yes!
Raunak! Raunak! Raunak!
Raunak! Raunak! Raunak!
Raunak! Raunak! Raunak!
Excuse me, excuse me!
– Raunak! Raunak! Raunak!
Thank you, thank you! Excuse me.
– Raunak! Raunak! Raunak!
Alright! Thank you, thank you!
– Raunak! Raunak! Raunak!
You want Raunak Kaul?
– Yes, buddy!
Well, I’m Charlie!
And only Charlie
can get you Raunak Kaul!
So wait here! I’m going to
get you Raunak Kaul.
Call him! Raunak!
Raunak! Raunak!
– Yes.
Yes! Keep it going, guys!
– Raunak! Raunak! Raunak!
Hey Raunak!
Where are you, mate?
Hey, rock star! Come on out,
man! Where are you?
Raunak! Bhan?
What a show, man!
Where’s Raunak?
In the restroom?
He’s gone. – What do you mean
he’s gone, dude?
The entire media’s waiting
for him outside.
I’ve promised them I’m going
to get them Raunak!
Man! What a show!
We’re going live in a half hour.
Stop fooling around.
Where’s Raunak?
Charlie, Raunak is gone.
We’d never had
such a performance
even before he went deaf.
It was so nice. Amazing!
And then, he disappeared.
Gone!
There was a lot of buzz in the
circuit about his disappearance.
You know some say,
they spotted him.
I once saw him at
a New York subway
playing the guitar.
And I thought to myself
‘This guy is incredible’.
I wondered, why our Indian Idol
was sitting idle in America!
Raunak, a beggar? No!
I was in Ladakh for
a medical conference.
They’d sent me from here.
So I was driving my car
and I..
some Lamas crossed me
and I said, ‘Hey! Mr. Kaul!’
I called out to him, ‘Mr. Kaul!’
But, I had forgotten that
he was deaf.
Raunak, a Lama? No.
I mean, I’m sure..
I am very sure,
I may have seen him.
I have no idea.
But you should ask Charlie.
A few years back, we’d been
to Kathmandu for
a New year’s event.
You can’t carry stuff from here.
So we met a dealer there.
– He offered us a discount.
Ask why?
Cause he’d seen our photographs
at Raunak’s house.
Who could that be?
– Keyser Soze.
Raunak, a drug dealer? No.
There was a lot of discussion
but no one is sure.
He just vanished one day.
He could be anywhere.
‘Here’s a story.’
‘It has no language.’
‘We could hear, but’
‘there’s no sign of the author.’
And once every six to eight
months, I get a CD
which tells me that
the scoundrel
is out there somewhere.
As long as there’s music,
there’s Raunak.
‘Such is my story!’
‘This is my freedom!’
‘Take me to the place
called heaven.’
‘Call out to me.’
‘Take me to the place
called heaven.’
‘Call out to me.’
Raunak achieved the impossible.
Nothing can be more inspiring.
Raunak had talent,
serious talent but…
Raunak had great style,
great flair.
I wish I could be like him.
A deaf man who became such
a big part of this industry.
It’s quite commendable.
He taught us, whatever we do
pursue it with passion
absolute passion
and never give up.
‘In a few words, my world’
‘is before me,
like it happened.’
‘Nothing is hidden from anyone.’
‘There are ink stains on
the bed sheet.’
‘Such is my story.’
‘This is my freedom!’
‘Take me to the place
called heaven.’
‘Call out to me.’
‘Take me to the place
called heaven.’
‘Call out to me.’
‘It’s an ailment’
‘which has no cure.’
‘I no longer care.’
‘It’s now me and my convoy.’
‘Such is my story.’
‘This is my freedom!’
‘Take me to the place
called heaven.’
‘Call out to me.’
‘Take me to the place
called heaven.’
‘Call out to me.’
‘Take me to the place
called heaven.’
‘Call out to me.’
‘Take me to the place
called heaven.’
‘Call out to me.’
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
‘Oh Lord! Hail Lord Shiva!’
‘Oh Lord! Hail Lord Shiva!’
‘Oh Lord! Hail Lord Shiva!’
‘Oh Lord! Hail Lord Shiva!’
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
‘Let’s make it!
Right now!’
What? What? What?
I can’t hear a thing.
